What Expiate is

Expiate was released in 2018. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on RPG Maker 2003.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Expiate follows the dreams of Corbin, who accesses his subconscious by dozing off to the static sound and visuals of his television screen. It gets predictably surreal from there. You can choose to lead him to the darkest pits of his mind... or just break a bunch of stuff with a metal baseball bat. Either way, something or someone's gonna get beaten up. Expiate is a mostly traditional Yume Nikki fangame, with some slight alterations to the formula. Effects are a part of the game, but collecting them is not your main focus. Instead, use effects and explore to look for strange objects located around the dreamworld. Gather these items in order to progress.
